oil in intake manifold ?
i swapped out my stock gsr intake manifold this last weekend for a blox intake manifold. well i had the stock im sitting on the flange and when i went to pick up the intake manifold, there was a big puddle of oil where the intake manifold was sitting. is this normal? i noticed runner 3 and 4 had oil running down them too. Just wondering what would cause this? and how to fix it. I'm thinking this is why my car smokes in vtec.

Re: oil in intake manifold ?
i'd say it was about a 1/4 quart. maybe a little less, i was pretty shocked myself. pretty much where i set the im, there was a puddle. i was thinking maybe the pcv valve is stuck open or something. i replaced it with a new one.

Re: oil in intake manifold ?
did a compression test and leak down test.
comp. 205-200-205-200
leak down test was at like 7-8% on cylinder 1 and 2, then about 10% on cylinder 3 and 4, i could hear air leaking in the head slightly on all the cylinders which i think maybe valveseals.
i think maybe the pcv valve was stuck or something, but i replaced it so hopefully when it gets warmer out, we'll see if it still smokes in vtec. right now i'm barely using 1/4 of a quart a month driving 40+ miles a day normally, if i get on it alot, then i use almost half a quart a month.
